Octopussy (1983)
Directed by John Glen
the 13th film in the Bond franchise stars Roger Moore,
Maud Adams, Louis Jourdan and Steven Berkoff. After 009 turns up dead
it is up to 007 to investigate jewel smuggling and a nefarious Soviet
plan.
The plot for this Bond
film is fairly grounded but is pretty generic to 80s Cold War
thrillers with a number featuring similar basic plots. As with many
of the Moore films there are some tongue in cheek elements here but
they do not get out of hand and do not seem drastically out of place
with the tone of the film. By this point Moore was starting to seem a
little old for the role but just about scrapes through here.
3/5
